A transportation company, its owner, and three managers have been indicted in connection with an alleged scheme involving $19 million in false claims billed to the state’s Medicaid program (MassHealth), Attorney General Maura Healey announced. The company primarily provided MassHealth members with non-emergency transportation services to methadone clinics. The AG’s Office alleges that between April 2011 and September 2015, Westminster-based Rite Way LLC (Rite Way) fraudulently and repeatedly billed MassHealth for transportation services that were never provided, including claims for individuals who were hospitalized in inpatient settings, no longer used the company’s services, or were deceased on the claimed dates of service.
